To (112 107mm may eoncem: w 1t known that We, li'iENRY P. litesmlmaizand lViLLIAM Cmsroeo, citizens ii toc Uiiitecl States, and residents ofMeave invented a certain new v .lllu nineting Apparatus; and We dohereby declare that the following is a toll, clear, and exactclescription thereof, reference he ino had to the accompanying drawings,in which like letters refer to like parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish sufiicieot and suitablydisposed light for use in photography.

, One feature of the invention consists in providing a number ofelectric lamps with rotatable shades which are longer on one. side thanthe other iii-hereby any of the shades may be quickly turned in positionto hide the light or to uncover the light. With an apparatus providedwith a large number of lamps, the operator can, by fuming the shades,i'eoclily obtain shade.

,eiiiothei' feature of in providing a horizontally iiiv which av largenumber of lamps are .moui ted, said frame being horizontally os-Oilletory and also vertically aoj ustable and combining with said framemeans for supplying electric current to the lamps.

Still another feature of the invention consists in providing such ehorizontal lamp frame in. sections hinged together so that" the mainsection can he oscillated horizontally end each hinged section can bead.- ju stecl with reference to the others parts of the frame inoi'clei' to sec ii'e the desired results' Tho-full nature of theinventionwill be understood from the accompanying d awlogs and thefollowingclescription and. claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is e front elevatior of the device, Fig. 2 isa perspective View thereof from'the rear. Fig? 3 is en elevation of alamp and shade on an enlarged scale.

The invention is 1. Illuminating apparatus including stationafyframehaving two uprights, a movableframe slidable on. said stationaryframe, means connected with the stationary frame for vertically movingthe mo able frame, and a lamp frame mounted on the.

'movable iframe so as to be horizontally oscil- 'latable.

2. Illuminating apparatus including a. stationary frame having twouprights, amovable frame slidable on said stationary frame, meansconnected with the stationary,

frame for vertically moving the movable frame, a lamp frame mounted onthe movable frame so as to. be. horizontally osciilatable, lamps on saidlamp frame, and means passing through said movable and lamp frames formalntannng lights 1n sald lamps.

Illuminating apparatus including a stationary frame having two uprights,a, .frameyertically movable on said uprights including a vertical tubehorizontally o'scillatable, a lamp frame formed of tubes and secured tosaid vertical tube, lamps on said lamp frame, and means passing throughsaid vertical tube and lamp frame tubes for maintaining lights in saidlamps.

. Illuminating apparatus including a base frame, a pair of uprightsextending therefrom connected at their upper ends, an intermediate crossbar secured to said uprights, lateral braces extending from said crossbar to the base, a screw having bearings in said cross bar andthe brace,means for drivingthe. screw, a frame mounted on saiduprights so as to bevertically slidable, an operative connection between said screw areas-es.andsaid movable frame-whereby the latter is elevated or lowered, and alamp frame mounted on said movable frame so as to be horizontallyoscillatable.
